so what's the technology? i think the technology is, essentially, smart manufacturing. i think it's the integration of i.t. throughout the entire production system. manufacturing is still sort of stupid, if you will. parts are not integrated into a digital system, and i think that's the big thing, i think, that really will have a big, big impact within the next decade. >> okayment so we're going to disagree? >> yeah. we're going to focus on 3-d printing and the impact, the industrial impacts. do you want to -- neil, do you want to -- >> first of all, i didn't disagree with anything you said. i disagreed with what you said, but i think it's a false dichotomy. i do believe in history. if you look at music or software, music was done by the labels, software was done by microsoft or ibm. then came the internet, pcs, tablets and mp3 players. anybody can create software or make music. nobody pays anything. what's settled is it's not one versus the other, it's ecology of markets that didn't exist. there's markets of 1, 10, 100,000, a million. there's still labels, but i would

so the extent that you can create opportunities like that through technology, i think you can make it much more simpleler to hire and much more effective for students to figure out what it is they really want to do which you can't do if you're landlocked to a specific area. really, really important. >> that's a great point. >> hi there. i'm emily rothberg with deloiotte global professional services firm and share the views that a diverse, skilled work force is critical. there is a staggering number of students in community colleges who require remediation, meaning that when they get there, they don't even have the basic math and writing skills. and so my question is, um, you know, what is the role of these colleges there, and i'm thug so state and local -- i'm thinking that the student that community college is seeing is maybe no longer the traditional student, so the needs may be a little different. and i'll stop and take, listen to your answers. i would suggest that mentoring, that one important role that businesses play with the large work force as we have, is to spend time with th

to do this by identity technologies and challenges. the postal service has been well aware of the impact of the internet in developing strategies to deal with it. from 2000 through 2006 before the passage of the p8 ea, postal service reduced approximately 100,000 people, almost 80,000 came from representation. since the passage, they have reduced employees by another 86,000 employees, but the trend to did not change. the postal service is in the middle of a rapid change. change is an ongoing process. unfortunate the crisis for retiree health and if it is to go too fast and too far. it's on the brink of coming services in ways -- the service by making it less useful. this'll be a tragic mistake and it's unnecessary. calls for privatization would take policy in the wrong direction. universal service has been provided without any government subsidy. privatization would lead to a loss of service. there's enough mail volume to continue to provide universal service. we need to consider postage rates of service can tinea. postal rates are low
